Quick Maps

Via Creative ICT I recently came across Quickmaps- a Google Earth looking mash-up which lets you easily trace your travel paths. It would be interesting to add it to a Voicethread

Here, in blue, are the paths I travel in my working week. I feel a bit like I am burning dollars for petrol money but there is no chance of car-pooling or public transport owing to the varying timetable and no public transport any way.

David- I still intend to do the Amazing Journeys Commute Video- as soon as I get the new computer- not long to wait now.

    I was introduced to this yesterday and will use it with a collaborative project I have with some other schools. We’re following the Iditarod Trail Dog Race that starts in Anchorage, Alaska tomorow. It has so many potential classroom applications.
